Well, this tells at least that Pidgin still uses XEmbed. Enable the "Ubuntu Indicator" plugin (right-click on the blank system tray icon and choose "Plugins") and it should use SNI instead and work. You can then turn off the standard icon in the settings. I did try to install pidgin now in a fresh Leap KDE VM, and I can reproduce your issue. Also pidgin works fine on my 13.2 system (with Plasma 5.4.3) though, so the problem is definitely not related to xembed-sni-proxy, it rather looks like pidgin does indeed paint a blank image for some reason. Maybe something else is missing which causes this, on my 13.2 system I do have a full GNOME installation alongside KDE. It's strange though that pidgin's icon does show up in IceWM (in Leap)... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
